Incroyable

Une expérience incroyable ! Peu de monde sur le bateau, une équipe sympathique et qui nous ont apporté une mine d'informations. Nous en avons pris plein les yeux : des albatros qui volent autour du bateau, des cormorans, un lion de mer, des otaries et leurs bébés, et même des dauphins qui sont venus à notre rencontre ! Merci à l'équipe pour cette expérience inouïe !
